Building a Positive Community with Teens – Part Two – VIRTUAL
Participants are REQUIRED TO ATTEND ALL TRAININGS in the series and create and try out tailored activities in between trainings.
Part 1 – Building Positive Community with Teens – Laying the Foundation
Part 2 – Building Positive Community with Teens – Meaningful Relationships
To learn, stay engaged, and develop as individuals, teens need a safe, predictable, joyful, and inclusive space where they can experience belonging, significance and emotional safety. They also need to feel comfortable taking risks and working with their peers. How can you create such a space for the teens you work with? This lively training series explores the environment in which you work with youth and provides strategies, fun group activities, and relationship-building meeting structures that will help you establish a community that promotes positive experiences for teens.
Please note: Only afterschool practitioners working with middle school, high school, or fifth grade elementary youth should register for this training.
